Newlife 0.6.2 has been released. Early-access Patrons can find it in the creations section here. The changelog is below.
The previous version is now public. You can download it using the links on the right-hand side of the blog. The public version's changelog is here.
As usual, saved files & templates from older versions probably won't work with newer ones.
For new players - just use one of the links to the right to get a zipfile containing Newlife. Once unzipped, you'll see a folder containing .jar and .exe files. Either one of these will run the game.
For either version you'll need to have Java installed. A lot of programs use Java so you might well already have it. If the jar shows up as an unrecognised file type, then you probably don't. In that case you can get it from http://www.java.com/.
The exe should tell you if you don't have the right version on your computer, but you'll still need to install java to run the game.
There's a guide for new players here which includes some troubleshooting tips for installation & downloading.
This release adds a new makeout scene: the first such since the initial 0.1.0 version, unless you count things like the changing room scene with Horse and his friend.
Changelog:
Major
changes & additions:
- Added a new sitting makeout scene. This is accessed from the homedate if you're sitting together. Whether you're sitting or not depends on the actions being taken: e.g. having tea together will sit you down, dancing will stand you back up again.There are no sitting PIV sex scenes yet so this scene generally doesn't transition directly to PIV, although it can transition to another makeout.
Minor
changes:
- Some improvements to makeout and undressing text sections where I saw a way to improve the writing while looking over sitting content.
- Added some more variety to some of the player's kiss actions.
- Updated the “stroke his chest” action to have better text when touching a bare-chested man, as well as varying arousal based on the player's liking for his body-type.
- Rewrote the male-orgasm text for makeout scenes.
- Increased the chance of the nightclub impregnation-speech action being used if its conditions are met (thanks to Meiluy for pointing out that this action is very rare).
- Gave Ivy a few alternative lines in the malestart ending scene for when the PC is married.
- Added a new section to the NPC pregnancy reveal to handle the situation where the PC convinced an NPC to try for a baby, as suggested by JulianR.Amazing.
Bugfixes:
- Fixes to text issues. Thanks to Stochastic, Saint Destiny, NoName and Secondarian for reporting some of these.
- Updated the conclusion of the latest NPC impregnation route to properly handle the situation where the man is living with the PC. Thanks to NoName for reporting this omission.
- Fixed a bug reported by Secondarian where online porn clips were being set up with incorrect parameters leading to odd situations with the discovery scene.
Enjoy the new version, and let me know if you find any bugs!
